Higher Still

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I kept one small promise in the pocket of my coat A folded piece of paper with the words I never wrote You found me at the doorway, asking if I was alright I answered with a smile and stayed until the morning light [Pre-Chorus] Now every careful heartbeat Is stepping out of line I used to hold the ceiling Now I am learning how to fly [Chorus] Take me higher than the room can hold Past the edge of what I used to know I will open every locked-up door Then rise, rise, rise once more [Verse 2] The kettle starts its singing, silver steam above the sink You tell me not to overthink the things I never think I place my doubts beside you, let them soften in the heat And find a little courage in the rhythm of your feet [Pre-Chorus] Now every careful heartbeat Is stepping out of line I used to hold the ceiling Now I am learning how to fly [Chorus] Take me higher than the room can hold Past the edge of what I used to know I will open every locked-up door Then rise, rise, rise once more [Bridge] If my voice turns into silver Let it ring above the blue Every impossible horizon Looks a little close with you [Final Chorus] Take me higher than the room can hold Past the edge of what I used to know I will open every locked-up door Then rise, rise, rise once more Rise above, rise above Ah-ah-ah, higher still Rise, rise, rise once more [Outro] I am here, I am here Higher still
